#186 - staying apart keeps us together

186

staying apart keeps us together

(Was Bedeutet die Bewegung?)

what do these stirrings mean?

– hearing Schubert from very far

and touch this bright lure

under skeins of moist and shine

swell for me, won’t you?

now stroke

never locked a door in the lockdown

dreamt of your touch and come true

saw you on the screen and golden

days when you stepped out

all through the danger of our disease

and snuggle up close

can almost taste

a whiff of skin

you in my pants and I in yours

or keep them on yet

move for me and show

the dance

all the dreaming night

I am fitful with  

say

is it love?

or is it fear?

did I sleep through

your climb on ride

the wild hurrah

?

of absinthe for the fondue heart

‘staying apart keeps us together’

when I read this newspeak knew

we’d cursed ourselves to here

it’s like winter forever

around the first lit traps of morning

find a little fire and sing

little birds won’t care
